What is PTFE?

PTFE is Polytetrafluoroethylene

 
But what is PTFE? PTFE is the original fluoropolymer
 
Accidentally discovered by Roy Plunkett in 1938 while working at a subsidiary of DuPont seeking a refrigerator gas for white kitchen appliances.
 
The properties of PTFE make it usable in various applications such as non-stick cookware, sealing tape and chemical coatings. PTFE is not melt procesable and so cannot be extruded with conventional extrusion technology.

PTFE has the following properties:

• Great non-stick properties
• Great chemical inertness
• Withstands temperatures up to 250 ° C
• Low dielectric constant
• Weather Resistance

PTFE products:

• PTFE tubing
• PTFE heat shrinkable sleeve
